It was my fourth day here, it felt like I had been here a lot longer. I woke up to Ditto jumping on me and barking at me while Newt was in the corner cracking up. But I realised that I hadn't played with Ditto since I got here, I felt really guilty and promised myself that I would play with her today. I got up and gave Newt a death glare.

"Ha ha, real mature." I said to Newt.

I shooed him out of the room and got changed into a denim playsuit with suspenders with a white top underneath. It reminded me of a farmer, after all I was going to be working in the gardens today. Then I put my hair into a side plait and slipped on some flip-flops. Then I thought about a shower, my hair was quite greasy and I'm sure I smelled. I decided to wait until tomorrow as I would be getting dirty today.

The maze doors started opening when I got down to breakfast, this was the earliest I had woken up to see the maze opening properly. It shouldn't open – its defying the laws of physics.

Breakfast today was cheese toasties, I wasn't too keen on cheese but the way Frypan makes it was delicious. I sat down at a table with Newt, Zart and Gally. They seemed to be having a pretty boring conversation about the weather, the weather here never changes so there was nothing to talk about. After that conversation was finished Zart piped up,

"So your with me today Greenie."

I smiled at him and was about to ask what do you do when you're a track-hoe but Newt butted in,

"You know I work in the Gardens as well so you'll get to share the day with me. It'll be even better."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Lucky me." I replied sarcastically while Zart and Gally burst out laughing. Then a thought came to my mind.

"Wait, but I thought you were second in command."

"I am but there's not much to do in the day so I help out in the Gardens unless there is something really wrong." Newt replied.

I nodded and put my plate in the wash, while going with Zart to the Gardens.

I didn't realise gardening would be so hard, it was harder than being a builder. I didn't stop sweating but I kept doing all of the jobs I was asked to do. At lunch I finally got a break but I wasn't for long as I was made to hurry up so we could get all the jobs done.

All afternoon I was pulling out weeds it was so boring but I got it done quite quickly. There was about an hour and a half until I could stop the job and Zart sent me to go and get some fertiliser from the deadheads. EW.

I was heading back with the fertiliser when I heard a rustling in the bushes, I turned to the source of the sound but I saw nothing so I walked on. I heard it again and turned around there was still nothing there.

Suddenly two pairs of hands touched me and I screamed – so much, I was so scared and I was about to punch my attackers when I saw who it was.

Minho and Newt. They were laughing so much that tears were coming down their faces. I felt my face to find that I had started to cry when I was screaming. I wiped my face and picked up the bucket of fertiliser that I had dropped, luckily only a little had spilt out.

I started running back to the Gardens with tears running down my face. I tried to stop crying but I couldn't, I was in too much shock still. Then I heard the shouts of Minho and Newt, I just started running faster.

When I got out of the deadheads Alby and most of the Gladers were on their way to the deadheads to see what had happened.

"Greenie what happened, we heard screaming…. Woah Lara are you crying?" Alby asked.

Everyone had worried looks on their faces. And that's when I broke down, I just sat down and started crying hysterically, so much that I couldn't breathe. I didn't even care that I looked weak, I felt weak.

Then Newt and Minho came out of the deadheads and came over.

"What happened and why aren't you in the maze?" Alby questioned them while pointing to Minho.

They gave each other a nervous glance and Minho answered.

"I got out of the maze early because I had mapped all of my section. Newt was just hanging around in the Gardens and we decided to play a prank on Lara. We followed her out into the deadheads and jumped out on her."

I had stopped crying now and got up I faced the two boys and poured the fertiliser all over them. Everyone started laughing, including me.

"That's what you get. I was really scared, even more scared than I was in the box. You made me look weak and I'm not weak." I turned to Zart and apologised for not giving the fertiliser to him, but he didn't mind and said it went to a much better cause.

Zart then gave me the rest of the day off, even though it was only an hour. I went to find Ditto and played with her. I forgot all about what had happened, she just cheered me up. Ditto herself looked happier, but I knew that she was happy with Bark and liked when Zart looked after her.

The walls closed and I headed to dinner. Tonight it was Spaghetti Bolognese, got it and started to walk over to my usual table. But I saw Minho and Newt there too, I didn't want to face them now so I turned around and started to walk to a table with the builders I had met the previous day.

Unfortunately Newt and Minho had spotted me and called for me to go over to them. I decided not to be rude and I went over to them. The silence on our table was awkward but it was finally broken when Newt apologised. Minho said sorry afterwards too.

"It's ok, but don't expect me to say sorry, you deserved it." I said.

They chuckled and nodded. They then handed me a teddy and said it was an apology gift.

"Where did you get it?" I asked.

"It came up in the box one day, we haven't used it." Minho replied.

"Thank you." I said and ate the rest of my dinner.

After dinner I headed to my room and was going to get changed into my pyjamas but they were dirty and smelly, and the creators only sent up one pair with me. Then Newt burst into the room.

"What's up?" He asked me.

"I don't have another pair of pyjamas and my ones are dirty." I replied.

Newt didn't even answer he just went to a box with all of his clothes in it and pulled out a really big top. The he surprised me by handing me the top and telling me to use it as pyjamas.

He turned around while I got changed. The top was really big on me but at least it was something. He turned around and looked me up and down, it was really embarrassing and I blushed. When Newt realised what he was doing he started blushing too.

We got into our hammocks and started talking about the jobs I had done and what I was going to do. I don't know why but I was looking forward to trying out for a Med-Jack.

"I don't think I want to be a Track-hoe after today's experience." I said while laughing.

"I know it scared the klunk out of you but you should have seen you face, it was priceless." Newt said. I just glared daggers at him, which made him laugh even harder.

He laughed so much that he fell out of his hammock and it landed on top of him. He broke it, what a shuck-face.

Now it was my turn to laugh, but Newt wasn't too happy.

"It's too late for the builders to fix it now." He said.

"Come on you can share with me, there's enough room for the both of us." I said without even thinking, I blushed and so did Newt.

"Um ok thanks." He replied with a nervous tone in his voice.

Newt climbed into the hammock with me and put his arm around me. It was simply a friendly gesture and I snuggled into him. After a few minutes I was asleep peacefully and without any nightmares.
